Bayern Munich have reignited their interest in Bayern Munich striker Victor Osimhen, stepping up their monitoring of the Nigerian forward amid growing competition from Arsenal.
Osimhen, who is currently starring for Galatasaray, has emerged as one of Europe’s most sought-after attacking options following an impressive run of form this season. Arsenal are understood to have already conducted an in-depth scouting assessment, with sporting director Andrea Berta reportedly present at Saturday’s Istanbul derby, where Galatasaray defeated Fenerbahce 3–0.
During the visit, Berta is said to have held discussions with Galatasaray officials over a potential move for Osimhen, who has registered 27 goal contributions in 31 appearances, further underlining his rising market value. Despite investing €67 million in Viktor Gyökeres, Arsenal are believed to be exploring additional attacking reinforcements, with the Swedish striker yet to fully meet expectations in terms of overall output. Galatasaray, however, are expected to demand a significant fee should they consider sanctioning the departure of their prized asset.
Bayern’s renewed pursuit adds another dimension to the transfer battle, with the Bundesliga giants long-term admirers of Osimhen as they plan for the eventual post-Harry Kane era. The German champions are keen to secure a long-term successor to the England captain, who turns 33 next summer.
While Osimhen remains firmly on Bayern’s shortlist, the club are also assessing alternative options, including Dusan Vlahovic of Juventus, as they prepare for a pivotal decision in shaping the future of their attack.
